Finally.
The Texas Longhorns exorcised some significant demons in a 8-5 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs from late Friday into Saturday morning at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha to extend the College World Series stay for the Longhorns.
For a Texas team trying to reach the CWS finals, the victory was both necessary and the first time the Longhorns overcame the Bulldogs in three tries this season.
After taking a 5-2 lead into the eighth inning, a rare bullpen meltdown by the Horns allowed the Bulldogs back into the game with three runs, setting up a key ninth inning for Texas.
